BosToN: April 10.--R. A Perry cables from
London to the Herald: 1.-The fears of disorder at
the monster Hyde Park meeting have induced
the police authorities to make large prepara
tions for the repression of turbulence. With
the fate of Sir Edward Henderson in memory,
his successor is not likely to fall below the ext
gencies of the occasion. The residents ir the
vicinity of Hyne Pa TX have been nervous at the
prospect, but official assurances are now given
that the constabulary force will be SO disposed
as to guarantee rhs maintenance of public
order. The apprehensions of rioting at
the meeting were voiced in the Post
this morning. in an article which excited
much discussion. The Post calls the DEM
ons.ration appeal to mob rule.
and while not disputing the legality of public
meetings within certain well-understood limits,
it asserts that in the hands of the reckless par
iamentary minority, and as an instrument Of
menace to the supremacy of Parliament. it can
only be by some unf fortunate technicality that
such meetings can escape being called treason
able But, however strongly the government
may be opposed to this method of agitation. they
are not likely to follow the Posts advice and
prevent the assembage by force, even though
Mr. Edward Norris. one for the Conservative
members of Tower Hamlets, has warned the
authorities, through the columns of the Times,
that the story of the meeting may be written in
letters of blood.
THE plans for the great gathering have been
perfected with as much exercised in

in a sem-circle parallel to Park Lane. between
the marble arch and the Hyde Park corner and

The Liberal and Radical clubs will

march to the park with bands and banners, and
the great meeting will be organized at P NJ
The assemblage will be addressed from several
platforms. and ample arrangements have been
made for keeping up the flow of o-atory at all
points. Mr. Jacob Bright and Mr.. Herbert
Gladstone will take part in the speaking. and
the resolutions will be put by bugle call at 43O
p. NJ. Altogether, in view of the vast numbers
which the bank holiday sends into the streets on
Easter Monday, and the thorough preparations
which have been made, the meeting will be a
most impressive demonstration unless the clerk
of the weather frowns upon it in bitter earnest
Unfortunately, April is treacherous month.
